That wAea. FrAud.

Last Friday afternoon Michael Hogan,
whose arrest on the charge of gross fraud AZ
common law, was mentienedin the DEMO.
cRAr last week, was tried before George
Humphrey, Esq, and, Il appearing that the
evidence was not sufficient to hold him, he
was discharged. II was one of those cases
where everybody was satisfied The man was
base swindler, yet Il was difficult thing
to prove Il in Court OF Justice, for the pris-
oner declared himself ready 10 furnish the
wheat and to perform his part Of the contract.
On the face of the thing Il Is one Of the
worst swindles ever perpetrated on the farm
ers of Oregon, and should be lesson not
only to A. p. Maxwell, NJ Fuller, Elias
Keeney, |. N. VanWinkle, WIN. Davidson
and the others who purchased the wheat ut
SIS bushel with the expectation OF selling
twice as much next year at the same price,
but to citizens generally.
Hogan and his associates claim 20 be do
ing business for the Empire Seed Co, with
headquarters at Portland and designate Geo.
l.. Woods as the president, and the capital
stock was placed at $7S,ooo.
The matter caused great excitement In
Albany, and the general opinion was that q
good coat of tar and feathers would have
been about the right thing for Hogan and
his pards. Certainly there should be string
ent means for Kidding Oregon Of such men,
though the people who bite at their bare
faced games really have little sympathy
from The public generally.
Below we give bond given BY the com.
pany, which shows the matter 20 be purely
speculative, making all concerned parties to
the affair
Home Office, Portland Capital Stock,

Bond of the Empire Seed Company OF Port
land, Oregon.
II Is agreed and understood By and be.
tween the party named In this bond and
said company, that the transaction covered
by this obligation Is of speculative char
acter,a and Is not based upon the real value
of the grain.

nesseth, That on or before the 10Th day oG
September, 1888, we hereby agree 10 sell 10
responsible parties forty bushels OF Mr.. ....
wheat AZ SIS per bnshcl. and for which he
agrees to take his pay In NOTES. And the
said Mr.. -. hereby acknowledges that he
has bought Of the said company twenty
bushels Of Scotch wheat at SIS per bnshel
as SPECULATION, and for which he
has given his note for the same, and that said
price Is not based upon It's REAL VALUE.
And the said Mr. -. hereby agrees 10 allow
the said company 33T per cent. Of all notes
taken for all his wheat sold at ISper bush

Der, 1887.

On the reverse side is the constitution Of
the company.
| Since Hogan and his associates left the
farmers who gave their notes have been re.
ceiying wheat from different places but
there Is solid proof that 1t j. not such wheat
as was represented. II makes some OF the
farmers feel that they are In for It for GER
tain and as the men have the notes they
will look for demands for payment from
most any source when due.

Mr.. prunk On the Amendment.

Mr.. Hezekiah Drunk lectured in this city
last Sabbath on the prohibltcry amendment
to a large audience. He began his discourse
early in the morning and finished at night,
presenting twenty or thirty eloquent and
powerful arguments IN favor of the amend
ment. No such address has yet been deliv-
cred here this season, his peroration particu-
larly being an effective one. Numerous rail-
road men Just from the summit, strangers
and citizens lent their influence to the lee
turer and the saloons set up the drinks
lively. A corpse could have gotten his glass
filIed. Comment is unnecessary. Those
who saw and heard could only come TO one
conclusion. Hezekiah's arguments were
convincing but one such lecture is enough.

are in view. Snail something be done in this
line. Il counts.

murdered His wife.

Last Friday the body of an unknown
woman was found in the Willamette river
below Oregon City, near Evans Landing.
.Upon investigation Il turned out TO be the
body Of Mrs. Hash, the wife of trapper.
About four weeks ago Mrs. Hash disap-
peared, when her husband explained Il by
saying she had gone to Coer D'Alene, and
about the first Of the month ne also left,
presumably for the same place. There Is
now, no doubt that he murdered his wife,
and conld he have been caught when the
discovery was made there might have been
rough work. He Is being hunted.

on Water Street, Rev Davis was hit on one

flesh was torn open, quite severe wound
being made. The stick glanced from Rev
Davis to the face of Logan Hays, who wal
working near by, cutting his lip and knock
ing out one Of his teeth, then glancing
against the side Of the building. II was
bad days job for one stick.

compliment (:
The Collegiate Institute at Albany under

hensive and selects and under the immediate
tutorage and supervision of Rev. Ebert N.

tors of this Pacific coast. The terms of tui-
ton are moderate as is board also, and Al

NAN ABOUT TOWN.

tits the strangcst thing Ia the world that
reading men should be taken Ia by such a
bare faced game as that of paying $TSa
bushel for wheat with the prospect Of sell.
ing more to be paid for at the same rate Ia
the notes Of unknown men. On It's face Il
Is an imposition. Ia the first place no wheat
Ia worth SIS bushel, and the fact that such
a price should be placed on Il stamps Il as 4
circus trick. There are men who never
learn that they cannot beat man At his
own game.
The Nj. A. I. suggests that a creamery
be started la the vicinity of Albany. II
would paw. according to present indications.
and, perhaps, prevent the Importation OF
California butter, as well as the great scar
city OF butter during the fall months.
IL prohibition does not prohibit why Il Il
that the people of Maine, Kansas and Iowa
could mot be induced to return to the license
system.
With the amount of wood 10 be sawed In
Albany there Is hardly an excuse for idle
ness. II the tramp calls for assistance treat
him 10 doseof sawbuck. II Is an eiiica.
cions cure for laziness.

saloon window bill reading something like
this @Mr. John Doe to Mr.. So and So,
dealer In wines, etc. To bill for liquors to
date, S3f.Io. The above bill Is for sale to
the highest bidder" Would a grocer ad
vertise a debtor In that way No. Why
does the saloon keeper do 30 then Because
Il is a disreputable thing that the debtor has
been doing, and this is q splendid way to get
even with him. II shows that John Doe
has been getting drinks and running 10 debt
for them.
